Topic: AGS 2012-13 Playoff Picture (Read 974 times)

Playoff teams are in the money (plus top regular season fantasy points in each conference), so instead of power rankings, I am going to update the league with the prospective playoff bracket which starts in Week 13.

Miami, Jacksonville, and Indianapolis continue their surprising seasons in the AFC. Meanwhile, there is a logjam of 4-4 teams that will need to be settled at some point. The NFC has even more of a logjam of 4-4 teams. There are only 5 weeks until the fantasy playoffs, so a lot is on the line every week!

The Packers are the new #1 team in the NFC and deserve it as they have the most points in the league. The 49ers are a week away from clinching the NFC West, but all other races are within one game of wildcard status. The NFC LEast is led by the Giants (4-5) who should win it as they have a decent points total. The Saints emerge as a new contender for the wildcard.

The AFC... well how bout those Dolphins? With the Patriots not being able to lean on their star players last week, Miami continued to win. They have the best record in the league and second most points. Indy's two-game divisional lead with four weeks left in the regular season puts them in good position. San Diego is losing their control of the AFC West with the Broncos knocking at the door. A whole slew of teams are in position for the wildcard and AFC North.

Green Bay loses with its real-life bye week but still holds the #1 spot in the NFC. The wildcard race has really opened up but all of these 4-6 squads are likely to be eliminated from playoff contention (sans the NFC East). The Falcons have really come on strong (thanks to their new GM ).

The best two records belong in the AFC. Unlikely Miami and Indianapolis look good to hold on to the top two spots and receive bye weeks. The AFC North keeps on changing leads meaning the 4-6 Ravens and 4-6 Browns are still in it. Buffalo and Houston are two back from Denver in the wildcard and are barely holding on to their hopes.
